Straint’s approach to analyzing strategic interaction helps you, as executives, find answers and make the best fact-based decisions, taking upside potential and downside risk into account.

How we do this

Based on the players’ options and their specific preferences, we analyze the issue at hand using proven analytical game theory and wargaming concepts. By using highly sophisticated, customized tools for analysis and simulation, we test all outcome scenarios of action-reaction chains and deduce stable and likely results of the decision at hand. In doing so, we calculate and test literally thousands and sometimes even millions of possible outcomes. Our projects typically require two to three months to complete the entire process.
